Looking back at my old posts that I have scheduled for a repeat it seems to me that way back then the poetry I wrote was fresh and sweet. Whether because it was new to me and I could write as the words flowed or maybe because the ideas were fresh and my brain reacted to the test. In any case what I write today does not seem to flow in the same way. maybe because I write in one line instead of phrasing a few lines at a time which is what I am trying to do and why I do I haven’t a clue.
This is the way I write today
and as you can see it is no way
the same as that written above
which is the way I really love
to write my verse but the end result
is just the same and not difficult
I am torn between choosing the best
and looking to see which passes the test
as this one is much easier to rhyme
a few short lines all at one time
with the last word the important one
each one rhyming and with some
that carry over to the next phrase
until we reach the bottom of the page
and at that point we have had enough
of writing down this terrible stuff.
My apologies to all of you real poets out there.

Hahaha. I like either way and I think your poetry is amazing. At one point I thought I would create a poetic response and then decided… nah!!
Thank you so much for your kind words as poetry is just a game and I easily could write the very same thing and it would still read just the same.
Reading your words
Reminds me of birds
Although I could have
Another phrase deferred
But that would have been a bunch of crap.
Everyone’s a poet. Thanks Nick
You are a better poet than most of us! 🙂
That comes with old age and senility….My jumbled thoughts come out as rhyme.
